The Ticket's George Dunham announced today on the station that he will no longer be the stadium voice of the Dallas Cowboys.

It sounds great: The Rangers should trade for Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay.

Just don't expect it to actually happen. Yes, the Blue Jays are shopping Halladay, just don't expect him to end up in Arlington.

Halladay is clearly an elite pitcher. He's 10-2 with a 2.79 ERA this season. He had great numbers last year, too (20-11 and 2.78 ERA).

You want to know how good he is? He got a decision in 31 of his 33 starts last seas...
